“We culled 18 provocative conversations with luminaries in the field from the more than 70 interviews we have had published with luminaries in this field since we began reporting more than 15 years ago,” said AJF Board board Chair chair Susan Cummins.  “These interviews underscore the importance of art jewelry and its place on the contemporary jewelry spectrum.”  

AJF commissioned two new interviews for the book. The first features Dorothea Prühl, celebrated for her use of natural materials and honored at Munich’s Handwerksmesse with the Klassiker der Moderne exhibition. The second highlights Matthew Friday and Kerianne Quick discussing their “Affective Craft Manifesto.”

AJF Best of Interviews follows the recent publication of the organization’s landmark book, Contemporary Jewelry in Perspective.
